Sunday is probably the only day of the week that I don't read a book. That's because I'm so busy reading newspapers. I subscribe to two--and the Sunday editions are massive. I also get a third Sunday paper that I don't subscribe to; it comes as a freebie to people who subscribe to my small town's local weekly newspaper. So I've got tons of non-book reading to get through.

I don't read every word. I don't read every section. But I love reading the book review sections (no surprise there!), the arts sections, the front pages, the week-in-review sections, and the Sunday magazines. This is partly because I like to stay informed, but also because newspapers are packed with story ideas. I'm always on the look out for something that might work in my next book.

(Oh, and I read the comics, too. I'm still a kid at heart!)
